Definitions
- 2-(p-Prenylphenyl)propionic acid (TA-60) described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,543 is a very useful anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent as are 2-(p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen) and 6-methoxy- ⁇ -methyl-2-naphthaleneacetic acid (naproxen).
- esters of ibuprofen and naproxen not only show reduced toxicity but also have reduced anti-inflammatory activity in comparison with the corresponding free acids, to our surprise, only esters of TA-60 maintain high anti-inflammatory activity comparable to TA-60 and show reduced toxicity even when administered at an extremely high dose.
- the present invention relates to a novel carboxylic acid ester represented by the following general formula ##STR2## wherein R is alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, tetrahydrofurfuryl, alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and said alkyl substituted with 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups.
- alkyl refers to either straight or branched chain alkyl groups, e.g., primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl groups.
- Preferred compounds of the present invention are the compounds of formula I wherein R is a straight chain alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Most preferred compounds of the present invention are the compounds of formula I wherein R is ethyl or ethoxyethyl.
- the compound of formula I may be prepared, for example, by the reaction of the compound of the general formula
- R is defined above, and X is hydroxy, organosulfonyl or halogen, or dialkylsulfate with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid or its derivatives. That is, the compound of formula II wherein X is hydroxy may be reacted with (a) 2-(prenylphenyl)propionic acid through dehydrative condensation, (b) 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic anhydride, or (c) 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionyl halide in the presence of a basic condensing reagent such as an organic base (e.g., pyridine, triethylamine and the like) or an inorganic base (e.g., a salt of alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal hydroxide and the like) to give the compound of formula I.
- a basic condensing reagent such as an organic base (e.g., pyridine, trie
- the compound of formula II wherein X is organosulfonyl or halogen may be reacted with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid in the presence of a basic condensing reagent described above.
- Dialkylsulfate may be also reacted with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)prioninic acid in the presence of a basic condensing reagent described above.
- Examples of dialkylsulfates are dimethylsuflate, diethylsulfate and the like.
- the compounds of the present invention have good anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity with reduced gastrointestinal action at levels comparable to those for 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid, and show extremely low toxicity, contrary to esters of ibuprofen or naproxen which possess reduced anti-inflammatory activity as well as reduced toxicity in comparison with the corresponding free acids.
- a compound of the present invention may be administered orally in a conventional dosage form such as tablet, capsule or powder prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practices.
- the minimum lethal dose of the compounds of the present invention in mice or rats is in excess of 1000 mg/kg of the body weight.
- the anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds of the invention was measured by their ability to inhibit granuloma formation in rats according to the following procedure, which is a modification of the procedure described by C. A. Winter et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 141, 369(1963).
- Ten male rats aged 6 weeks were used in each group.
- Two paper disks (8 mm diam., 28-29 mg) were implanted subcutaneously on both side of the ventral midline under anesthesia on day 0. Test compounds were given orally to rats once daily for 6 days (from day 0 to day 5).
- a control group which were implanted with the paper disks received an equivalent volume of the vehicle (5% gum arabic solution).
